Wright, better known as an organic architect. And is also known as the architect of America's most popular. When I was a kid Wright poured copyright power by playing with the boxes made children's playground Friedrich Wilhelm August kindergarten (better known as kindergarten Blocks) which awarded her mother. This block is a form of geometry that can be arranged in various forms of combinations to form three-dimensional composition. Learning from this block are affected him so Wright describes in his autobiography about the influence of exercise on the block designs do. Lots of work is based on the geometric shapes. At the age of 14 his parents divorced.In 1885 Wright went to the University of Wisconsin majoring in mechanical engineering, where he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity and took classes part time for 2 semesters while working on a professor of civil engineering, Alan D. Conover. In 1887 Wright left the university without a degree (although he got a high appreciation of his art from Alma mater in 1955) and moved to Chicago, and joined the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbe. Within a year, he left Silsbe, and he was apprenticed to the firm Adler and Sullivan. As he began to learn this on Louis Sullivan, especially the doctrine of "organic architecture" which was later extended to him by adjusting between the interior and the neighborhood that became known as the prairie style.

The principles of organic architecture:
  1. Simplicity and tranquility, this principle is behind the art. Openness should be incorporated into the structure into an integrated form so that a kind of natural decor and quiet. Detail and decoration is reduced and even fixtures, pictures and furniture should be integrated in the structure.
  2. There are many home styles, this principle allows the expression of the personality of each client, although the draft wright always a significant contribution.
  3. Correlation of nature, the topography of the architecture, a building must be established in harmony with the surrounding environment.
  4. Natural Color, the materials used in construction must be in harmony with the natural color.
  5. Material properties, wood must be such as wood and brick must be like a brick, color and texture they should not be changed.
  6. Spiritual integrity in architecture, Wright believes the quality of the building must be consistent with human qualities. This means that buildings must provide joy and a decent atmosphere for residents. It is thought more important than a lot of style.
